[Bioc-devel] Samtools dependency

[Pages, Herve]

Hi Jonathon,

Have you considered depending on Rhtslib? See 
https://bioconductor.org/packages/Rhtslib

Rsamtools itself is implemented on top of Rhtslib. Note that other 
Bioconductor packages (e.g. DiffBind, deepSNV, BitSeq, qrqc, QuasR, 
seqbias, TransView, etc...) use Rhtslib internally to implement features 
not implemented in Rsamtools.

We cannot use Rsamtools, as we depend on features not implemented in the package. How do we resolve the issue? What is the policy for system dependencies? We have samtools listed in the DESCRIPTION and installation instructions in our README, but I am sure that is not enough to get it installed on the Build and Check servers.
